Excerpt of Dr. King's "Mountain Top" speech seems topical right now.

"You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery."

"Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history?
It means that we've got to stay together.
We've got to stay together and maintain unity."

"Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike.
But either we go up together, or we go down together."

"Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness."

Found it from an interesting site:

some very inspiring speeches there, some great moments of history also.

Saw it again the other night and was impressed.
As always; as society divided and without a means of opposition - cannot fend off fascism.
